    @DoubleAA: Sanhedrin 82b identifies him with "Shaul the son of the Canaanite woman" mentioned in Gen. 46:10 among the sons of Shimon. The Maharsha that SimchasTorah referenced is here, in his comments on that Gemara.

    @Alex I wonder though if that is meant to be pshat, or an explanation for why the Tribe of Shimon did poorly (because they had Cananite blood). Additionally, this post is clearly a riddle. Finally, he should have included all that information in this answer.
